HUNDREDS of Volkswagen fans from in and around Basingstoke shrugged off the threatening skies to join in the Endless Summer VW Show.

While it looked like it might rain, more than 1,000 people went to enjoy the show on Sunday, all in the name of a good cause.

It was the fourth annual show which is run in aid of children’s hospice Naomi House and Jacksplace.

As well as a range of camper vans, beetles and other modified vehicles, there was live music on the main stage in War Memorial Park.

The event, which was held on Sunday also had a range of different stalls all raising money for the charity.

Organised by Allan Shepherd the event aims to showcase some of the most unique vehicles in the Volkswagen community.

On a post on the Endless Summer website, Mr Shepherd wrote: “After years of travelling to shows I thought why isn’t there something like this local to us? After searching for a venue we discovered the war memorial park in Basingstoke. We thought “Build it and they will come”.

Now, five years later the event has raised more than £10,500 for the charity which supports children with life limited and life threatening conditions.

At this year’s event Mr Shepherd and his team were also selling charity t-shirts, which are still available to purchase.
